dc.description.abstractOn July 1, 1995, Hawaii's new DNR or comfort care only law will go into effect. Under specific circumstances, the new law allows and directs ambulance/emergency medical services personnel, first responder personnel, and others to honor the wishes of terminally ill patients who do not want to be resuscitated during a medical emergency. The law also protects emergency personnel from liability if they have a good-faith belief that resuscitation is necessary.
